The pursuit of wisdom was seen as a noble endeavor, and "binah" was considered a divine gift that enabled individuals to live righteously and justly. The concept of understanding was not merely intellectual but also moral and spiritual, guiding individuals in their relationship with God and others.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/998.htm">binah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an understanding<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>understanding (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>knowledge <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/998.htm">biynah</a> -- knowledge. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/998.htm">biynah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בִינָֽה׃ בינה׃ ḇî·nāh ḇînāh viNah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/2-21.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 2:21</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּמַנְדְּעָ֖א לְיָדְעֵ֥י <b> בִינָֽה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> And knowledge <span class="itali">to men of understanding.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to them that know <span class="itali">understanding:</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-21.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and knowledge know <span class="itali">of understanding</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_999.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_999.htm">Strong's Hebrew 999<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vinah_999.htm">ḇî·nāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/998.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="998"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="998" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1000.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1000"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1000" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
